We are architects building a better shared future.
Hi, we’re Incremental Architecture - a cooperative studio specialising in community buildings, timber construction, and low carbon homes.
From our studios in Bristol and Wales, we co-create buildings and places that use the available resources with care.
Are you a Social Enterprise or Community Asset Developer with an existing building?
Are you a Community Land Trust or Local Authority looking to build homes?
Are you part of a regeneration team looking to develop a plan or engage a community? or a community group looking for a co-designed vision?
Are you a Private Client looking to build sustainably?
Are you a community group or CLT looking for early support?
Applications are open for our next round of Free Initiator Design Sessions
Key examples of our work:

“Incremental has developed original practical and deliverable solutions to challenges we face as a community and pushed us to aspire and prioritise areas we hadn’t before.”
Hannah Sloggett, Nudge Community Builders
“Incremental enabled us to get a real picture of the challenges and opportunities for the Fort and its surrounding areas. They produced visuals of the three development stages for the site, showing its potential and how it could become viable and ensure it is saved for the future generations.”
Virginie Whittaker, Tourism and Heritage Manager, Gravesham Council
We are a cooperative.
We are a registered worker cooperative. We meet the highest standards of democratic governance, socio-environmental performance, and financial accountability—reinvesting 100% of our operational surpluses into local community strategies and ecological research to deliver public good.
